All paintings depicted here were painted by Richard Peterson and executed with Alchemist's Amber Varnish.
“I have used Donald Fels’ Alchemist mediums for many years and find them to be exceptional and unique among any on the market today. With the amber mediums I am able to achieve a depth and luminosity in my transparent shadows that allows me to approach a quality amazingly similar to the Old Masters. At the same time, the viscosity of the mediums permit me to create body to a loaded expressive brushstroke in the light areas of my canvases. Alchemist painting mediums give today’s artist a full working range of opportunities that allows for maximum freedom in the creation of art that is personal to the artist’s creative vision.”
